To see what a second Trump administration would mean for reproductive rights, look to the mogul’s record and alliances.
Donald Trump has an abortion problem.
The presumptive GOP nominee boasts an advantage over President Joe Biden on most of today’s most salient issues. In a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll, voters said that they trusted Trump over the president on the economy, inflation, crime, and immigration. Biden, meanwhile, enjoyed a double-digit advantage on only one issue: by 47 points to 35 points, voters said they trusted the president over Trump to handle abortion policy.
It is not hard to see why.
Trump’s presidency left relatively few lasting marks on American public policy. But as he has repeatedly boasted since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, it was his judicial appointments that enabled the overturning of Roe v. Wade — and thus, the avalanche of abortion restrictions that followed its demise.

Everything he says is a lie. Only an idiot would believe anything he says
Except when he talks about wanting to be a dictator, that’s no lie. Of course the “one day” piece totally is.
Remember the delusional log cabin republicans that thought he wouldn’t push for a ton of homophobic shit because he pretended to be moderate on LGBTQ+ issues? Pepperidge Farm members.
It seems there is a lot of delusion in this specific area. Caitlyn Jenner was just spouting off in the past week, in fact.
Caitlyn doesn’t seem to understand that if the cons get their way, all her money simply will not matter. They might want to look into history a bit, specifically, The Night of Long Knives. Or see the target of some of their book burnings. It would be rather instructive.

I know the kind of people that pick up private home landlines to answer these polls, but what. the. fuck.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
But as he has repeatedly boasted since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, it was his judicial appointments that enabled the overturning of Roe v. Wade — and thus, the avalanche of abortion restrictions that followed its demise.
When Texas forces a woman pregnant with a fatally ill fetus to carry it to term — even at the risk of suffering uterine rupture and infertility — that is a consequence of the Trump presidency.
Now, with the Republican nomination firmly in his grip, Trump is finally spelling out his official position on abortion — or at least, the line he plans to take into the general election.
Perhaps this was meant to remind his supporters on the Christian right that they owe him gratitude, his present complacency about the supposed mass murder of fetuses in blue states notwithstanding.
The likely GOP nominee is registered to vote in Florida, which will hold a referendum this November on whether to enshrine a right to an abortion until fetal viability (generally, around the 24th week of a pregnancy).
As the New York Times reported in February, anti-abortion activists with close ties to Trump’s campaign have developed a wide array of plans for restricting reproductive freedom through executive action.
